8 NON-BARGAINED/NON-EXEMPT Thought process… Regarding Exception Pay (employees paid based on standard hours, all except temps) Report OTR in order to reach 40 hours worked before reporting OTP when there are non-worked hours reported as part of the appointment and if employee is part-time
9 NON-BARGAINED/NON-EXEMPT Points to consider…… In a true flex environment the employee wouldn’t take PTO if they are working at least up to their appointment for the week Report PTO only if they don’t make their appointment for the week or if employee has an attendance issue that needs to be tracked Dept guidelines written and followed consistently

11 NON-BARGAINED/NON-EXEMPT Example: I am 40 hours per week. I had 24 hrs PTO time scheduled and I worked 20 hrs. I take 44 (total hours I need to be paid) less 40 hours paid by exception, so I need to be paid 4 extra hours. Are they OTP or OTR? Was my total worked hours greater than 40? No, so it's OTR for 4 hours.

19 Guidelines for 8 and 80 Overtime Rule Dept of Labor Definition: Under the "8 and 80" system, the nursing care facility may pay employees -- with whom they have a prior agreement -- overtime for any hours worked after more than 8 hours in a day and more than 80 hours in a 14-day period
20 Guidelines for 8 and 80 Overtime Rule Expanded Definition: The Act entitles hospitals, nursing homes, and other healthcare providers that care for inpatients to enter into agreements with their employees whereby the employees will be paid overtime compensation at a rate of 1 ½ times their regular rate of pay for each hour worked in excess of 8 hours in a work day and 80 hours in a 14 day period
